**Irish Mathematical Society**

The [Irish Mathematical Society (link)](https://www.irishmathsoc.org/) held its 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting at TU Dublin at the university's new Grangegorman campus on 1-2 September. As is usual at our September meeting, time was set aside for the Society's Annual General Meeting. One of the main outcomes of the AGM was the establishment of a subcommittee of the Society to be called the Irish Committee for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Mathematics with Dr Romina Gaburro, University of Limerick, as its first chair. The establishment of this committee reflects a growing understanding of the centrality of the EDI agenda in mathematics and in science in general, and dovetails nicely with recent successful Athena SWAN applications by mathematical departments across the country. At the AGM, Dr Leo Creedon (ATU Sligo) was elected incoming President, Dr Rachel Quinlan (University of Galway) was elected Vice-President, both for the years 2023 and 2024. Dr Derek Kitson (MIC, Thurles) and Dr Cónall Kelly (University College Cork) continue as Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

ICIAM 2023 - announcement and calls

The EMYA is a new initiative approved at the latest EMS Council Meeting, to integrate the next generation of mathematicians into the EMS structures. Each EMS member society/member institute is invited to nominate two young mathematicians (from 3rd year of PhD up to 5 years after PhD). From these nominations, the EMYA Selection Committee will select the first 30 EMYA members, for the term 2023–2026, and the selected members will have an initial planning meeting in late 2022. Activities of the EMYA will be supported with a reasonable budget by the EMS.
